Ready to Pull the Trigger on PS3

[brutusbuck45]

OK... Finally. I am not a XB360 fanboy, by any means. Its just the next gen console I have had. It was the first one released- I got it then and have had it since. So, I have had to deal with the baseball shortcomings of 2K and XB360 since the demise of MVP. Not this year. I am going to get a PS3! I buy/play two- maybe three different titles per year. NCAA Football, Madden, a hoops title (either Live or NBA2K, depending upon which year was best). Baseball has been so horrible on the XB360 the past two or three years it just does not even bear any further mention. So I am salivating looking at the videos and screens of MLB10. I brings me back to my days of being a PS2 owner and playing MLB until my fingers nearly bled.
Can't wait!

Now, all this said, I don't want or need two consoles and I am going to unload the XB360 either on eBay, CList or the simplest means and least amount, Gamestop trade. So this begs me to ask this question: Does anyone know the current trade value of XB360 at GS? I have a bunch of stuff and that will fetch a few bucks, but big $ value is in the console itself. I have the original 20 GB w/out HDMI? If anyone knows the recent value, I would love your input. If not, no biggie, they open here in 1.5 hours and will give a call.

Thanks y'all and can't wait to get a PS3 and the release day for MLB10!

First off welcome to the show!

I think your question is better off in the console forum as you will get a better response from fellow 360 owners on what its current value is.

i recently bought a ps3 for their exclusives.. the main 1 being the show.. and i kept my 360(too many friends and exclusives). me personally i wouldnt sell my 360 for a ps3 unless u need the money for the ps3... but last time i knew i think it was like $90 for the system and with the hard drive u get more depending on the size... just call ur gamestop and ask them . but good call on gettin a ps3 the show is great and wont dissapoint.

True, true... I guess that does make more sense to put in the console forum. I guess I was just hyped about The Show! : )

Thanks!

the launch console do not have much value at all. i recommend keeping it. if anyone knows anything about that particular model, they will stay away from it.

I don't know the current trade value for the 360, but Gamestop does have a couple deals in place for hardware trade in:

Well done, you will not be disappointed! I did the same thing a couple of years back, and the show alone has made the PS3 worth the purchase. I cannot emphasize just how much they listen to their consumers/fans when moving forward into a development cycle. Plus, I haven't had to deal with the "red ring of death"

The 20GB 360 is going for $100-$150 on NYC's Craigslist ... but that seems really high, considering the reliability problems and a brand-new 120GB is $300.

Personally, I wouldn't buy a used 360, period, but I'm sure you'll find a taker who will pay more than Gamestop.
